The Knorrhütte is a hut of Category I of the Munich section of the German Alpine Club in Wettersteingebirge in 2051 m above sea level. Above sea level. It is located directly at the edge of the Zugspitzplatt to the Reintalanger in a panoramic position and is a valuable base for hikers who climb the Zugspitze on their way from Garmisch-Partenkirchen through the Reintal .
History of the Knorrhütte
The Knorrhütte was built in 1855 as a small, poor refuge. For this purpose, the businessman (head of the Munich trading house Sabbadini) gave Angelo Knorr (1820–1872), son of the banker Ludwig Knorr , "a significant amount of money". As early as 1860, the hut had come down because "little attention had been paid to maintaining it". Finally, the Munich section of the newly founded German Alpine Club took on the hut. In addition to the section, “the royal. District office Werdenfels, as well as his royal. Highness Prince Otto of Bavaria and also Mr. Julius Knorr there in a considerable amount ”made a contribution. On August 10, 1873, the new hut, the first of the DÖAV in the northern Eastern Alps, could be handed over to its destination. In this state of development, it provided “comfortable maintenance” for 20 to 25 people (night camp for 12 people).
A contemporary publication describes the hut in the following words:
“Built entirely from cuboids, it actually consists of 2 resp. 3 departments. The front room, about 5 meters square, serves as a living room and therefore contains tables and benches, both fixed to the walls, which form chests beneath them, as well as sliding benches, but also as a cooking room because it has a very extensive cooking stove Contains a bowl frame with all the kitchen utensils that can only be used. The rear, second room, which is a little higher, is as deep as a man's length and contains 3 large straw mattresses with woolen blankets on which 9 men can sleep comfortably. The third room is the floor space above the front apartment room, which offers comfortable accommodation for 12 men, bedded on straw. This room is actually intended for the guides, but can be used by tourists who are not in a position to have the key to the hut ... easily and with the help of a ladder that is always leaning against the hut. "
Approaches and tour options
- From Garmisch-Partenkirchen ( Olympic ski stadium ) through the Partnachklamm into the Reintal ( Bockhütte ) and on past the former Blauer Gumpe , which was destroyed by heavy rain on August 23, 2005 , to the Reintalangerhütte ( 1366 m ). From there - a detour to the Partnachursprung (source of the Partnach) is worthwhile - further and about 700 meters up to the Knorrhütte. Time without breaks around 6 to 7 hours.
- From Ehrwald to Ehrwalder-Alm ( 1500 m ), also with the gondola from Ehrwald. Continue past the Pestkapelle and the Feldernjöchl ( 2045 m , also Felderer Joch), as well as over the Gatterl (border crossing 2024 m ) and the Plattsteig to the Knorrhütte. Immediately behind the Gatterl you can see the hut on the other side of the Platt, directly below the Brunntalkopf ( 2264 m ). Time without a break from the Ehrwalder Alm about two and a half hours.
- The Knorrhütte is an ideal starting point for the ascent of the anniversary ridge on the Zugspitze . A marked trail with a few easy climbs leads to the Brunntalkopf and over the connecting ridge that runs down from the Inner Höllentalspitze to the Jubiläumsgrat, which you step between the Inner and the Mittlere Höllentalspitze at an altitude of 2,650 m . Continue for about two to three hours in an airy ridge hike / climb with great views down into the Höllental (north), the Zugspitzplatt (south) and the Zugspitz summit. From there in two to three hours via the Platt back to the Knorrhütte.

However, in hiking descriptions, the height is also widely given as 2052 m; so it is posted on the sign above the entrance door of the hut itself (as of October 2017).
